My son went to this school and was discriminated against. He was put in a small classroom of disabled children instead of the regular kindergarten class. He had problems distracting other children, but was not diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. There is no way he belonged with disabled children. They did not allow him to take a reading test and participate in a reading group. I put him in a private school and he began reading quite easily. This school and staff are horrible. Close Quote
